You are more likely to get struck by lighting twice...before crashing in a plane.

I know. But that still doesn't make me feel any better.

Yeah....if planes crash it's scary because more than likely you are all gonna die.

But people crash in cars and on bikes all day everyday all over the place, but you don't hear about it because there is not enough time in the day to report all of those.

That's why to me the fear is unjustified. But we all have unjustified fears. I'm afraid of food with bones still in them. Gives me the heebie jeebies.

Did anyone else hear that there are people suing US Airways over the Hudson River crash? Or should I say Hudson River miracle? The airline was giving $5K and a formal letter of apology for people NOT DYING when their pilot managed to safely get the plane on the ground (river) after birds, that I presume they should have somehow predicted were going to fly into both engines, took the plane down. The figure that I heard quoted, that one woman was asking for, was something like $2.5 million.

Fucking ridiculous. We'd be better off if those greedy fuckers died in the crash.
